in nearly every aspect of life, such as commuting to work and completing complex tasks. The artificial intelligence (A.I.) presented in society today and in Ray Bradbury's short story "The Veldt" both illustrate examples of ways in which technology can provide both benefits and detriments. Within “The Veldt” we see many examples of artificial intelligence from the nursery to the dining room table. These technologies prove helpful and practical in many respects, yet they also show threats to…

In the story The Veldt, by Ray Bradbury, I think that the kids are to blame for the parent’s death. The reason I think this is because the parents aren’t the ones who made the kids vile and destructive. The parents only wanted to give their kids the best possible life, as do all parents. But the kids were the ones who took the access to technology and turned it into an unhealthy obsession. They abused the power of the niche, and began to exercise violent tendencies using the room. I assume the…

May I first begin by saying that I am becoming more and more amazed and a little frightened of the accuracy of past writers/philosophers and their predictions of the future. In Ray Bradbury’s “The Veldt,” a few questions revolving around technologies arise. First, the idea that technology may become so involved in our everyday lives that we would “stop living.” The concept that technology, produced to make our lives easier, would make our lives too easy and we would no longer function for…

all we have ever known is the significance of technology in our lives. A day does not go by that we don’t use some form of an electronic. The world has put such a reliability on technology that without it we would be lost. In the short story “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury, the author depicts a family struggling to hold its ties together as the children are more interested in their nursery, the technology room, rather than their parents putting a strain on a growing relationship. Similar to Ray…

His wife knows what is going on with the nursery but George does not. Inattentive people usually have no clue what is going on with their…

Throughout “The Veldt”, sensory details are used to accentuate the alarm that readers should be feeling as…
